Product Description
The Simpson APHH46 Outdoor Accents Heavy Joist Hanger is a concealed-flange connector built to join 4x6 beams to girders in custom outdoor living structures, delivering both structural integrity and a polished appearance. Engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie as part of the Outdoor Accents decorative hardware line, it pairs ZMAX galvanization with a black powder coat finish to stand up to exterior conditions and treated-wood applications without sacrificing visual appeal. Whether you are building a pergola, deck frame, or similar outdoor structure, this heavy joist hanger is designed to complement the Outdoor Accents Mission Collection and Avant Collection for a cohesive, refined look throughout your project.
Key Features
- Concealed-flange design with straight edges - hides the hanger flanges within the connection point, resulting in a cleaner, more finished appearance at every beam joint compared to standard exposed-flange alternatives
- ZMAX galvanization with black powder coat finish - provides an extra layer of corrosion resistance specifically suited for exterior installations and treated-wood applications, so the hanger holds up in demanding outdoor environments
- 12-gauge steel construction - delivers the heavy-duty strength needed to securely connect 4x6 beams to girders in load-bearing outdoor structures
- Compatible with Outdoor Accents Mission Collection and Avant Collection - allows builders and designers to maintain a consistent decorative hardware aesthetic across an entire outdoor living project (fasteners sold separately)
- Installs with specified Outdoor Accents fasteners - designed to work with Outdoor Accents Structural Wood screws and STN22 hex-head washers, ensuring a properly engineered and aesthetically matched connection system
Why This Product
- Form and function in one connector - most structural joist hangers prioritize performance at the expense of appearance; the APHH46 is built to do both, with a concealed-flange profile and black powder coat finish that make it a natural fit for visible beam connections in custom outdoor builds
- Engineered for the harshest outdoor conditions - the combination of ZMAX galvanization and black powder coat delivers layered corrosion protection, making this hanger a dependable choice for exterior applications and pressure-treated lumber where moisture and chemicals can degrade lesser hardware
- Designed to match a full decorative hardware system - because the APHH46 is part of the Outdoor Accents line and complements both the Mission Collection and Avant Collection, contractors and DIYers can specify a unified look across connectors, fasteners, and structural hardware without mixing mismatched finishes
- American-made heavy hanger for a demanding application - fabricated from 12-gauge steel with a seat width of 3-9/16 in., this hanger is purpose-built to handle the structural demands of 4x6 beam connections in outdoor living structures
